so the process was the other way around ,
still it is not clear to what system log You are referring
might be clear for You, not the same for us...

i want to check the messages or events of all the users according to their process.for example.,when a user logs off a subsystem,then the following message will be displayed in the syslog.
IEF126I H905058 - LOGGED OFF - TIME=15.41.21
$HASP395 H905058 ENDED |

Does your process examine SYSLOG records in real time?
I'm not sure how to get the messages back into the active SYSLOG. You could do a WTO or DISPLAY in a program but the message IDs may not appear in the same location in the log records.
I think it would be easier to run actual jobs on your test system. |

What information is it that you want to get, and why.
There are other methods of getting statistics / information from the system |

If I understand the thread: you have a program that will read syslog so that you can perform 'actions' based on certain messages. And now you want to test your 'actions' and in order to test, you need to trigger them by getting the messages into syslog.
You should be able to develop your 'actions' as subroutines. And have a test program that only pretends it got the message from syslog and then calls your subroutine.
======
to get messages in to syslog:
1. you need an authorized program to issue a WTO. The parm to the program should be the message to be written.
2. call the program from your rexx.
note: there are security / auditing implications here so you are unlikely to be allowed to create such a program. |

Hi pedro,
Thanks for your information.
Can you explain briefly about how to use WTO? |

The WTO assembler macro is described in the manual here publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/iea2a981.pdf
You can use the method where the message data is in a work area with a length indicator. The ROUTCDE values allow you to direct the message to the SYSLOG along with certain consoles or no consoles. |

| You can also use the SEND command to get stuff into SYSLOG. but I think messages are prefixed with a '+' sign to indicate it is not a real message. |
